Does the buddy pass work just the same as if my parent wanted to fly as far as the Whoever checks in first gets the seat?

 

Yeah..sweet leather bomber jacket with your CAP wings dude..I'll value your 1500hrs of C172 S&R experience

 

If an airplane goes missing, those guys get out of their beds at 2am and go and look for it, for no pay. I am not involved in CAP, but I am not going to make fun of people that will volunteer to come and look for me.

On a personal not, I would not have worn that jacket to class even if I were involved with CAP. But...to each their own.

 

Exactly. I have every bit of respect for what those guys do, but that can be checked at the door on day one of training. No one cares what you did prior to showing up to class.

 

That's not a Civil Air Patrol jacket or wings.

This is though


CAP saves 300-400 lives every year. Maybe next time it will be yours.

 

Just looked at that photo and they need to install some of those treadmill desk things in there for the love of sweet baby jesus. Good lord.

 

Not exactly. There are several different boarding priorities. Whoever checks in first within the same boarding priority gets priority. However someone with a higher priority can bump someone with a lower priority at the last minute regardless of time of check in. I think the different lpriorities go something like this

Employees on company business
Vacation passes
Employees
Employeee' kids
Employees' parents
Buddy passes
Other airline ZED passes

For example, if there are 2 empty seats and three people traveling on buddy passes listed, the first two that checked in will get cleared. If there are 5 seats available with 2 parents and 3 buddy pass holders listed, all of whom checked in 23 hours before the flight, then an employee walks up to the gate just before boarding begins, then one of the buddy pass holders (the one who checked in last) will not get a seat.

 

You mean you don't care.

 

Making fun of someone's previous flying experience is fair game, but, making fun of these guys based on their look and/or weight is hitting below the belt.

 

Such a immature thing to say. Something a 12 yr old school girl would say. Grow up!!!!!!
